dairy products such as whole milk butter and cheese fatty or fried beef pork or lamb desserts or snacks such as ice cream and potato chips creamy sauces and gravies oily and greasy foods fried and fatty foods can cause the lower esophageal sphincter to relax when it shouldn't be lower esophageal sphincter is a ring of smooth muscles at the junction of your esophagus and the stomach that allows only unidirectional movement of foods and liquids this muscle only relaxes when you swallow food fried in fatty foods can cause the lower esophageal sphincter to relax when it shouldn't be allowing the stomach acid to back up into the esophagus these foods also delay stomach emptying eating high fat foods puts you at a greater risk for reflux symptoms so reducing your total daily intake of fat

study was done on 16 patients to note the effects of removing caffeine from their coffee known as decaffeination and its effects on the symptoms of acid reflux disease the study concluded that regular coffee led to a significant acid reflux and decaffeination of coffee significantly decreased the acid reflux so it's best to avoid your morning cup of coffee and find other alternatives like tea or decaffeinated coffee if you are constantly suffering from acid reflux symptoms number three are chocolates chocolates contain chemicals like methylxanthines caffeine and theobromine which relax your smooth muscles including the one that is present in your lower esophageal sphincter this causes the acid in your stomach to move up in your esophagus more easily and leads to symptoms of acid reflux
